HISTORY OF PORTLAND IRISH

Re: HISTORY OF PORTLAND IRISH

Still working on this? Recently determined my dad was adopted (born 1933) - his birth mother was a Goodfellow who lived in Portland, born in Rumford (she just died at the age of 102; her father James was from PEI; his father was from Ireland.

My dad's birth father was John W. Quinn, apparently living at 20 Boyd Street in Portland. His father came over from Ireland (John C. Quinn). John C. was married to Gertrude (Nolan or Jordan) Quinn.

My dad was raised in South Portland and Portland, but by his adoptive parents.
